Where do you live now?

Woodstock, ON Canada

Are you married, single,?

Married to Gary for 45 years in July

Do you have children? If so how many. Tell us about them.

A son Duane - adopted in 1970 when he was eight months old - truck driver hauling auto parts for Cami More…- single and living in Woodstock.
A daughter Darla - born in 1973 - graduated from Seneca College in Toronto with a certification to teach figure skating - she taught in Norwich in the 1990's - has worked at Swiss Chalet in Woodstock for 15 years and is the Assistant Manager. She married Joe in 1999 and lives in Woodstock as well.
I have two beautiful granddaughters - Darian 9 years; Kiloh 3 years and one handsome grandson - Brock 6 years.

Of course, there are too many to list but ....
- I remember Nancy Nold and I stuffing cotton balls in our ears in Mrs. Gaal's grade 9 music class -looking back, I can't believe I really did that.
- How about those awesome hot lunches in the cafeteria - and only costing a quarter - plus a nickel more if you wanted dessert.
- Also, how helpful and accommodating all of the students and staff were to me - something you would only get from a smaller school.

Yes. My brother John and his wife Darlene live in Norwich. My sisters Alice and Yvonne and my brother Ernie live in Woodstock. I'm very fortunate to have all of my family close by. My Mom is 94 years young and lives at Woodingford Lodge in Woodstock.

I thoroughly enjoy the Toronto Blue Jays. I travel to Florida every March to watch Spring Training. I was also at game six in Toronto in 1993 when Joe Carter hit the game winning home run, the Jays winning their second World Series - what an experience and what a party!
